2012 IECC New Ventilation Requirements

The new Massachusetts Energy code now requires mandatory mechanical ventilation that meets section 403.5 and ASHRAE 62.2-2013. Home Energy Raters can calculate the ventilation requirements for your project and help you design, field test, and commission the system. We can work with you to offer the most appropriate system design for your project style and budget.
More and more new homes now include heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV systems. The sad truth is many of these systems don’t provide the ventilation or energy savings excepted because they are not tested and/or balanced. Home Energy can measure, balance, and commission your system to optimize performance.
